Preparation, characteristics and crystal structures of novel N-heterocyclic carbene substituted furan- and pyridine-containing azadithiolate Fe-S complexes

Two novel N-heterocyclic carbene disubstituted furan- and pyridine-containing azadithiolate Fe-only hydrogenase models (2 and 4) have been synthesized, and characterized by IR and H-1 NMR spectra and X-ray single crystal diffraction. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) experiments indicate that they show more negative reductive potentials at -2.53 V and -2.49 V, respectively versus the ferrocene/ferrocenium couple (Fc/Fc(+)) and are easier to capture proton attributing to the strong electron-donating ligand NHC. After the protonation under F3CCO2H the reductive potentials of 2 and 4 have 1.02 V and 0.77 V shifts, indicating the formation of Fe-H-Fe bond. The results also are confirmed by the data changes in IR spectra and the negative H signals are detected by 1H NMR spectra at -27 ppm and -55 ppm.
